Morning all. Often when we pick up the newspapers in the morning, or search the internet to catch the latest headlines, it’s doom and gloom. Fatal road accidents, terminal illness, murder, beatings, you name it, it’s there in black and white and today is no different. Bill Maynard, perhaps better known latterly as ‘Greengrass’, the […]

Morning all. This year is flying by. It seems like only yesterday that the Christmas decorations were being packed up and put away in the loft for another year and now here we are today and it’s Good Friday, the start of Easter. There’s conflicting reports on the internet when it comes to Lent with […]
Morning all. Life’s a funny old thing isn’t it? There I was on Sunday, bored with flicking through the television channels looking for something to watch before The Durrells started a little while later, so I pushed the little voice programme search button and simply said Arsenal. Various options popped up, one of which was […]
Morning all. I don’t know what happened yesterday. I published this post but there was a problem as it disappeared into a big black hole. Not one quite big enough for Arsene Wenger though as he’s still at the club. Darn and double darn! Anyway, fingers crossed it works today. The women didn’t need any […]
Morning all. Good old England fans eh. Why can’t they just behave at football matches? Some of the photos which made the back pages yesterday morning were not pretty and those causing trouble and found themselves locked up in a Dutch cell for a few hours really need to wake up and smell the gravy. […]
Morning all. One from AllezKev this morning. Arsenal don’t play again until April Fools Day, as it is known in the UK, April 1st when everyone indulges in practical jokes and Arsenal play Stoke City. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Arsenal gave the Potters a good old hammering and helped send them on their way to […]
Morning all. Before I even thought about typing a few hundred words about football this morning, it did cross my mind not to bother. In fact, but I wonder why anyone who writes/comments about Arsenal these days, bothers. Each day comes and goes and those days fall into weeks, months and then years and despite […]
Morning all. This has been a long season, a long hard season and it’s not over yet. Sitting in sixth place with so few fixtures left to play simply isn’t good enough. Things could get worse too before the end on May as Burnley could yet overtake us. Mathematically, so could Everton and Leicester and […]
Morning all. March 18th and I’m snowed in. How weird is that eh? For a few days its seemed like Spring was in full flow, but no, winter has reared its head for what I hope is the last time. The roads haven’t been gritted either so I’m not going very far that’s for sure. […]
Morning all. We didn’t need that to happen but it is what it is. Thankfully the first leg is at The Emirates and we need a top notch performance and a glut of goals. Seriously, the second leg in Moscow will be tough, the atmosphere hostile in front of thousands of fans who are known […]
Morning all. Do yourselves a favour and don’t bother reading the back pages, they’ll only cheese you off. Welbeck dived according to them and bearing in mind just a week ago the same pundits suggested that an AC Milan player was too honest for staying on his feet when minimal contact should have sent him […]
Morning all. That’s it then for Per Mertesacker. He doesn’t want to play another game of football again. Talking to German outlet Der Spiegel, he’s reported as saying: ‘My body is finished. Everyone says I should enjoy the last year, to play as much as possible and take everything in. I would rather sit on the […]
